Las Vegas is about to shine even brighter. Glittering Lights, Nevada’s largest holiday drive-through light show, returns to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for its 26th season from November 6, 2026 through January 3, 2027, transforming the speedway into a three-mile winter wonderland of more than 6 million LED lights and over 600 animated displays.
Families enjoy the whole experience from the comfort of their own car, cruising through glowing tunnels, reindeer and snowman scenes, and larger-than-life holiday displays — including this year’s new Avenue of Flags and an expanded Tribute to America celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary, plus an enhanced Tunnel of Love. The show opens nightly at 5 p.m., rain or shine, and tickets are sold per vehicle, so a full carload shares one happy price.
Glittering Lights is also a celebration that gives back: a portion of every ticket benefits dozens of local charities and organizations across Southern Nevada, a tradition that has made the event a beloved part of the Las Vegas holiday season for more than two decades since its beginnings at Sunset Park in 2000.
Glittering Lights runs November 6, 2026 to January 3, 2027 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 7000 Las Vegas Boulevard North. Organizers recommend arriving early on busy nights and checking the official website for tickets and nightly hours.
